[Andrius]

I just need white wool for buildings. I can dye my own if need be but I need a wool for walls/etc.
Will hit up the town in my next

raid

visit.

[Hiraki]

wool can burn though

and lightning

i dunno

[Chevre]

Good point, Hiraki. If you planned on using mostly white, snow blocks would have a similar effect, but that might be more time-consuming than wool.

[Andrius]

Good point.
And I'd be putting them at an elevation higher than the clouds, soooooo

I also have about 4 stacks of snow blocks so.

[Andrius]

though i guess
since im building on a wood platform
lightning anywhere is gg

Told Xalxe I'd post about this in-thread:

So I'd been mining for about an hour and a half in the giant multi-ravine mine underneath the new Desert Tomb base, and I'd been coming across a variety of minerals, including some diamond. I decided to /home and do some house cleaning on my inventory. Then I patched together a couple diamond picks and went to the Blaze Farm to exp. spam and get some enchantments. On the first pick I got Eff3 Unb3 but on the second one I got Unb3 Fortune3 Eff4. Went back down deep into a different mine...found a dungeon...and starting finding tons of diamond, just randomly, without any tricks or strategies on my part. I had 43 in a stack (mostly thanks to the Fortune) by the time Xalxe got on to say hello, so we deicded to try a little game. He gave me a block face (0,1,2,3) and I would dig in that direction ad we'd see how long it took me to find diamond.

It took me less than 5 minutes to find a maxed out 2x2x2 block of diamond ore - for 8 total - and with my Fortune pick I ended up getting 13 diamonds out of it.
I was freaked out at this point but Xalxe thought it was cool, so he gave me another rock face to see if I could find some more before he logged off.

I mined less than 6 blocks from the 2x2x2 block and found 3 more diamond ore.

Just in case anyone's reading this: I ended a simple 1-2 hour outing with 61 diamonds.
It was a freaky day...but Xalxe and I are going caving soon to test out my luck a couple more times. We will be searching for an untouched cave system so we'll probably be out by the Desert Tomb if anybody cares to join us (probably) sometime EST/EDT tomorrow.

Congratulations!

I'm building a Nether portal near Chevre Island. Are there any precautions I should take into account before doing so?

[Xalxe]

Don't get blowed up!

Is your island close enough to anything else that the Portal might cross with another one?

[Chevre]

It's by the portal that is near the desert sandmine, but it's not terribly close. How far apart do they have to be?

[Maestro]

Spoiler: Mainly for Xalxe...

About 20 blocks from the last place. When will it end?

P-Edit: 48 blocks or something like that...? I'm not the most familiar with Portal mechanics. I should probably educate myself.
I do know that you mainly need to watch out for how close together they are because it might just link up with the other Portal's Nether exit...but like I said I'm not sure how you'd prevent this without building much farther away than is probably convenient.

[Om of the Nom]

Guys if I end up raiding Maestro's diamond stash it won't be my fault.

[Maestro]

Ender Chests, beeyatch.

[Chevre]

I'm actually not concerned if it links up with the sandmine one, but I just wanted one which would be closer to my base. Although because I like to make everything eccentric, it's almost as convoluted to get there

[Om of the Nom]

Wouldn't breaking the ender chest work?

[Xalxe]

No.

[Maestro]

No sir! You'd have to break every single Ender Chest on server to get what's inside them,
but that would also drop everything everybody else's put into theirs. Not a good idea.

Spoiler: This is getting ridiculous.

[Om of the Nom]

Okay seriously I'm just going to find Maestro and kill him and take his diamonds while he still has them on him.

[Maestro]

Please don't......by the way...

Spoiler: This one's gotta be a trap.

[Maestro]

Spoiler: Same area...different PoV with GUI scaled down. Holy shit.

[Om of the Nom]

It'd be nice if I didn't have like 2 minutes of lag everytime I used some form of a teleport command :P
The lag is much worse than normal, despite it being somewhat decent yesterday.

Chevre:

Likelihood of 2 overworld portals linking to the same Nether portal - Normal World portals that are within 1024 distance of each other on both X and Z axis are almost always going to link to the same Nether realm portal on initial construction because 1024 translates to a distance of 128 in the Nether Realm, and the game checks for existing Portals within 128 "radius" around the destination (the 257x257x128 box).

[Xalxe]

Also Maestro smack me on Skype when you wanna go caving.

This is why I'm exceedingly stupid.

*yell at self* "48 blocks? What. Were. You. Thinking?!"
